TOP 14 THINGS TO DO IN THULUSDHOO ISLAND, MALDIVES

Planning a trip to Thulusdhoo Island in the Maldives…? Absolutely amazing decision! I just recently finished a one-month trip traveling around the country, and my time on Thulusdhoo was definitely one of my highlights!

While most tourists who come to the Maldives stay solely on the “resort islands”, I think visiting one or two of the “local islands” is a fantastic experience. A local island will give you a different perspective about visiting the Maldives as a traveler (and not just for a luxury resort vacation).

I honestly think in twenty years, I’ll look back on my time on the beautiful island and will be able to say, “oh, I visited that place when nobody knew about it”.

1) Swim in the Infinity Pool at  Season Paradise

I’m a sucker for an infinity pool with a view, and that’s exactly what you’ll find on the 5th story of Thulusdhoo’s newly opened, award-winning 4* Hotel – Season Paradise.

This is where I stayed during my time on the island, and I swam in this pool basically every chance I could! It has stunning views of bikini beach, perfect water temperature, and comfortable pool chairs/beds – it’s definitely the best pool on the entire island!

So grab your towel, some sunscreen, and a good…
